Catching up...

Dear Nicky,

Sorry I haven't been able to write much the last few days. Junie's constant crying has worn Mom and me out; I'm sure it's not done you any good either. We're so tired from the stress caused by her crying that we can't even think straight. Anyway, there's not that much to talk about anyway. Slowly but surely projects around the house are getting checked off my to-do list. A bunch of stuff is assembled, including a large double stroller for you and your sis. A bunch of stuff is fixed, including the sink pump in the basement, which the previous owners took care of not at all. And a bunch of stuff is cleaned and/or neatened up, like the lawn getting mowed by yours truly. For the past couple days, we've been giving you some grownup food for lunch, like little raviolis and Spaghetti-O's. Your chewing skills are a little lacking, but your acceptance of the flavor and tolerance for the texture are great. Yesterday, you spent the day at Granny's while I did stuff around the house. The day before that was Friday, and I think that was the day we met with your new OT, a very nice, straightforward person. Thursday was the last day at Stones, and Mom wanted to take you. She was a little frustrated because you were kind of sleepy and not at your best, and she wanted to wrap up the summer session with a bang, I guess. Oh well, don't feel bad. You've got a lot of things on your plate, a lot of stuff to get used to, as do we all, and we'll do it together.

Love,
Dad
